Jason Block was actually on Wheel of Fortune in October 1992 and GSN aired his WoF appearance during and after the Dark Period. 2 members of the Slater family who appeared on Family Feud during the early stages of Louie Anderson's tenure appeared on The Newlywed Game in 1998 IIRC and others whose appearances on multiple shows appeared on GSN were Dan Avila, who appeared on Break the Bank during the May 3-7, 1976(he won 1 game there) and was on Greed from the 2nd through 4th episodes and the only player to play for the biggest money amount ever offered in TV history and lost(the jackpot was at $2.2 Million), and Sarabeth Rofeld(excuse my spelling) appeared on Double Dare against Ray Winston and was on Love Connection during Season 7.

Remember big Blockbusters champion Leland Yung? Prior to that he was a contestant on Password Plus.
Renee Lackey won some cash on Card Sharks with Jim Perry. She got slaughtered though as a solo player on Blockbusters with Bill Cullen.

Brad Rutter and Ken Jennings both made an appearance on a show called 500 Questions. It should be noted that both of them didn't earn any money on the show.

I remember learning on the old, old GSN boards, a thread mentioning that a Jeopardy! contestant was previously on Where in the World is Carmen Sandiego? as a kid. Unfortunately, I don't remember the contestant's name.

In the latter's case, it's suspected to have been intentional. Season 1 ended with Richard Mason getting to the podium just before host Richard Quest announced that it was the end of the season. When Season 2 began, Mason was nowhere to be seen and Ken was the first contestant, answering his first question correctly before missing the next three. |

I was going through Supermarket Sweep episodes this week and I noticed Rekha from Rafferty CS was a contestant.

There was a 1998 NEWLYWED GAME episode that had Lori from the classic 1970s PBS kids program ZOOM (not a game show, I know, but had some game elements to most shows) and her husband (they still married?) as contestants.
Hubby actually referenced Z in a round one question. That's how I know her 1970s TV past.

Card Sharks is having a blind persons week airing on BUZZR this week. Has Susan also been on $25K Pyramid during their blind persons week?

That wasn’t a blind persons week. Susan just happened to be a blind contestant.
I don’t know if she did Pyramid or not. I can’t recall seeing her.

She looks familiar to me, and I don't watch much Card Sharks. I swear she was on 25K.

Check your archives. I only have one episode of Blind Contestants Week from April 1987, and I can’t remember if she was on it. Plus that disc is on an opposite coast where I’m at.
I should watch more Pyramid.

Pyramid did an episode on August 23, 1983 on daytime with sight-challenged contestants which would have aired fairly recently. $25K Pyramid in April 1987 did a week with such contestants, as did $100K Pyramid in October 1987.

I checked my "Pyramid" contestant notes, and I don't see a Susan listed for any of the times they had blind contestants, including the Shelley Smith/Richard Kline partial week in 1984/1985. |

Ok, looks like I just remember her from another airing of the same Card Sharks that I happened to run across.
